Way more than kinda. Before SJW was a term, they were the kings of GBS for a while. If anyone said ANYTHING even mildly offensive, you could get probated or banned. Every bad SJW thing you've ever heard about was there, with full blast self-righteous morality policing to ludicrous extremes. Every bad thing about the SJW stereotype was in full loving force. Every. Bad. Thing. If you disagreed with any of them (and D&D is still like this from what I hear), you get probated/banned for not having the right opinion. Conversation doesn't matter to these people, they want to reinforce their status as socially enlightened by demonizing people, not converting them.

And just like in real life, what happened was people put up and tried to play along for a while and got increasingly sick of it, eventually exploding into the polar-opposite reaction once nobody could take it anymore, and GBS instead became something equally lovely on the other side, a lawless place that started to sound like a stormfront news letter every other day.

Finally, there's balance back in GBS, but I look back at that time as two equally dark days.

yeah i saw, i lurked back then. i guess hegelian dialectics are real. lol.

Dunno. But you'd find this interesting: Recent study found that "disinvitations" for speakers are disproportionately concentrated among colleges where the students come from disproportionately wealthy/1-percenter backgrounds:

I thought the recent thing at Auburn where they let Richard Spencer speak and then students stood up and actually challenged him (and made him look like a fool) is a better way but what do I know.

yeah, its a bunch of rich 1%er kids who feel guilty about having rich mom and dads and coming from a probably conservative background. so they become liberal to a extreme degree. no one likes them but everyone on the left/liberal has to pretend to because "well they are on my side and fighting for progress". the good thing is smaller schools dont have these nuts on either side.(like mine)


also, the simpson clip was loving terrible and not funny. old simpsons would have been cleverer about it.

King Vidiot posted:

South Park's last two seasons were possibly less funny than the Simpsons has been for the past 20 years. Except for the Yelper song and CtPaTown, that was alright.

Agreed that the most recent season was awful since they attempted to make one season-long arc, but the previous two seasons had loose continuity and I thought they were pretty good. They've largely strayed away from the "what if both sides are wrong?" / basing an entire episode around one joke approaches that were killing the show a few years ago.

i think it's because of the privileged elite background, basically. from that, you are more likely to expect the world to cater to you, and their attitude at the elite universities is that they're paying to be there; the school should adjust the environment to suit them. "the customer is always right." and that's why their demands are for the administrators (specifically) to clamp down on objectionable content.

the girl in the spencer clip: i'm making an assumption because she has a southern accent. the way she dresses and carries herself, etc. it's a state school and so on. suffice to say i don't think she comes from a privileged background. and she's not afraid to stand up and tell spencer exactly what she thinks. she doesn't give a gently caress.

that and she is actualy not an idiot. a lot of the people who "fought" milo, just regurgitated woke rhetoric and bullshit and when he did cower in fear and then probably made a lovely edgy joke, they would have a temper tantrum. its like a bunch of loving red guard, everything old or not (THIS CURRENT YEAR) or doesn't have their exact politics, must be burned to the ground. i pray these idiots dont start to get legit control of the DNC. The DNC throws them bones and poo poo but they would rather be bored neoliberals and even obama called these dipshits out a few times. but what worries me is these dumbasses will pick the wokes over the sanders types because they are "controllable"

yeah i dunno what will happen there. i will say milo had his enemies totally figured out. he knew exactly how they'd react and he exploited it, which is why he was so stunned when he was brought down, not by the left, but from the right and it was his own words which were used to hang him.

reading alt-right forums and the like, they seemed to have decided that richard spencer's auburn appearance was a disaster, to put it mildly. and it was a disaster precisely because he was allowed to speak, because he is a dumbass who makes them look like dumbasses. the same i think is true of milo in retrospect. if you let him talk, he will eventually start spouting off about the virtues of pederasty! well clearly, if you want him to go away, you should give him as much time to talk as he wants, all you have to do is just sit back and smile.

yeah, well i think alot of it is because alot of these woke dumbshits are shocked when they stand up and pretend to do a Aaron Sorkin impassioned speech and realize they can't or it doesnt work in real life. so they get pissed and offended and try to ban the speech all together. but yeah, letting the alt right speak usually undoes them. because they are bigoted morons who say stupid poo poo.

Alt right used to just mean "we are right of center but dont want to be lumped in with the anti-science religious right". It was formed mostly of people that were fed up with how pants-on-head retarded liberals have been acting in the past 5 years, non-religious conservatives, and 4chan NEETs.

At some point neo nazi groups jumped on the bandwagon. The liberal media wanted to demonize and discredit the growing alt-right and what better way to do that than film a bunch of neo-nazis calling themselves the alt-right? So people like richard "im not a nazi but" spencer started getting far more attention than they deserved because they sold out the movement for personal gain. Spencer made a shitload of money and got a ton of attention for his little group of morons.

The remainder of the movement hasn't found a new umbrella term to rally under but they haven't had to do that since Trump won the election anyway.

Since the election alt-right means "anyone i disagree with politically" and has become a boogeyman that the same liberal media uses as often as possible.
